Cantos Alegres (Joyful Songs)

Open Gates & Glowing Faces

of course I am happy,
wouldn't you be? when I look
at open gates and see a garden full of life,
of good health, and smiles of glowing faces it ignites my spirit

I have never been more excited to be alive
and in the radiance of peace that grows, I know that when I
surrender to sleep and the ocean of night
cradles my dreams,
I can only be in one state of being
completely open

Melon-Flavored is the Day

purple falls the sleeplessness
of an enormous love,
of a love watermelon-scented
with sweet pain
for a dream that reveals
in melodies for tomorrow
the taste of melon
which is the day...

the day is today and falls enormously,
itâs a great song
and beautiful poetry
with sweet pain
for a dream that is watermelon-colored
that keeps me awake
for the tremendous love
that is awesome
and melon-
flavored

The Day is Today

for many nights now
I've been wanting to dance in jumps
within the marine light
that licks me this way

all is clear when
hunger evaporates
in expected rain
that falls here

kiss me, I offer you
the sun that illuminates
the awakening
where I am at

with you I dance in jumps
night after night,
your light animates me
yesterday
as today

awaken me...
the day
is today

Love that Unites with the Greatest Love

the minute is a blade a grass
and in this instant I absorb the forest
that opens itself and flowers
like a wild mouth that sings
green verses and upon sleeping makes
cries grow that
nourish the garden well

cries and screams of joy
grow
because the sky opens
to the hymn of a warmth,
a warmth of love
that unites with the greatest love
it's enormous and spatial...
upon singing I'm drenched
and flourish in wilderness
of green dreams
and verses of grass

in this instant
I absorb the love that unites
with the greatest love
taste my words
fly my song
I live for the splendor

Adorable Flow

energy flows, flows...
within me it enters in abundance...
the senses are a bridge
when I fall with the force of water
like a petal of light
towards the fountain of the intimate
immensity of the divine kiss in my mind...

adorable cosmic flow,
I am yours in
root and constellation
the senses are a river
when I fall in lightning
towards the ecstatic celebration
of the fertile garden where
I find you planting rays of light
and nourishment

you run like the water with its
energy and celestial smile,
smile that makes me flow
smile that imitates the sun...
and for its abundant warmth,
I jump as I laugh
because I enjoy a blade of grass
as I do an entire forest..
I shout as loud as I can
"I love living, I love living"

Stars unite in you

these words I dedicate
to the bridge of love,
the love that unites me with the greatest love,
much greater than I...
much greater than the yellow
that awakens early
that's how the glow is that awakens,
with its swift unique power,
all colors,
drenching them in light

drenched in light, I absorb the pure juice
of midday,
juice sweet like the melon...
sweet like the children who eat it
and reach elderly age to remember
the taste of midday...
its melody I taste in the red then blue
of the night,
and when I look at the grand face of darkness
and navigate in the sea of light
that is a beautiful bridge of light
I know it is here where
the stars unite in you...
in you

Elevated

I live for the splendor surrounding your face
and for the silent darkness that your
eyes reflect upwards...
you navigate in eternity,
among the stars
that unite their lights
in you

and when your days of glory become deflated,
I feel the radiance within the ribs
because you navigate upwards,
among the stars
that are
in me

Splinter of the Sun

the body is a door,
upon entering, one can taste the
strong light, sostrong that if
the sun were made of
wood, the internal fire of
the body would be a splinter

the body is a door,
upon opening one can listen to
the rivers, the red rivers
of the natural electric currency
that upon beating, the
dream sea of being
can be reached

the door is a body,
upon closing one can see
the zones of skin, skin of
a multitude of colors like a diverse
garden that swallows young rain
to nourish its hopes

the door is body,
upon leaving, one can feel the
light weight of the landscape,
the immense landscape that is
illuminated with bodily light,
internal fire
splinter of the sun
